American History Prints > Loaded

This series of prints uses imagery found on the US dollar bill and common cliches in our language to look at our ambivalence about money's power to both redeem and destroy.

Also included in the series is an open edition of "currency" that celebrates parts of the economy that are usually ignored by economists in their calculations about value and worth: the gifts of our planet that sustain all our activities, and values like community, love, and forgiveness.

On the last page of this gallery you can see a book that includes all of the Loaded prints plus writings about the back stories.
